ethereum-lists/chains

This system is a data repository and validation toolset for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain definitions, structured around the CAIP-2 standard. It provides Kotlin-based processors and Node.js utilities to validate, clean, and aggregate chain metadata, including RPC endpoints, explorers, and icons. The system enforces strict schema compliance and data integrity through automated testing and remote data fetching capabilities.

The httpsloader module now provides a function to fetch the list of supported chains from the remote https://chainid.network/chains.json endpoint. This enables users to load chain data over HTTPS using OkHttp and Moshi for JSON parsing, replacing or supplementing local/static sources with up-to-date remote information.

New utility scripts have been added to the tools directory to maintain data integrity for chain definitions. The schemaCheck.js tool validates that chain files conform to the defined JSON schema and ensures the filename matches the chain ID according to CAIP-2 standards. Additionally, rmNetwork.js is provided to remove the deprecated 'network' parameter from all chain files in the \_data/chains directory.

A new SVG icon file has been added to the \_data/iconsDownload directory for the chain identified by the IPFS hash QAZt75XixnEtFzqHTrJa8kJkV4ccXWaXqeMeqM8BcBomQc. This addition ensures the chain is visually represented in the interface.

This change establishes the foundational structure for the EVM-based chains data repository. It introduces the Gradle wrapper (gradlew/gradlew.bat) and configuration to handle data validation and aggregation tasks, alongside Prettier configuration for consistent JSON formatting. The repository is initialized with a comprehensive README detailing the CAIP-2 based chain data schema, constraints, and usage guidelines, along with a maintainer checklist to guide PR submissions. Additionally, it sets up a Jekyll-based website as a git submodule and configures build artifacts (like \_site and .gradle) to be ignored.

The processor now enforces stricter validation on chain data, including support for new fields like 'title', 'status', and 'redFlags' (specifically 'reusedChainId'), while deprecating the 'network' field. Icon handling has been updated to allow JPG formats, enforce a 250KB size limit (with a list of legacy CIDs exempted), and verify that icons are properly referenced and not unused. Additionally, the system now checks that explorer URLs return valid HTTP status codes (allowing 403s) and validates RPC schemas and connectivity.

The chain model now includes optional title and native currency details, while the network field has been removed. Explorer data is now structured with a standard field, enabling automatic filtering to show only EIP-3091 compliant explorers by default.

model · high confidence

The validation rules for chain metadata files are now enforced through a comprehensive set of specific exception types defined in the model layer. This change introduces strict checks for various data fields, including ensuring RPC URLs are valid lists of strings, explorer URLs start with http or https and return 2XX status codes, and native currency symbols are non-blank, untrimmed, and under 7 characters. It also adds validation for new or updated fields such as 'redFlags', 'faucets', 'parent' chain references, and a 'status' field (allowing incubating, active, or deprecated), while preventing invalid short names like '\*' and ensuring icon files are referenced.

processor/src/main/kotlin/org/ethereum/lists/chains/model · high confidence

Added invalid chain data fixtures for validation testing; Added validation tests for chain data integrity.

This change introduces the initial dependency manifests for the project, establishing the build environment for the Kotlin-based modules (processor, model, httpsloader) and the Node.js tooling. The Kotlin modules are configured with Kotlin 2.4.20, KEthereum 0.86.0, and various libraries including OkHttp, Moshi, Klaxon, and ImageIO. The Node.js tools directory adds \ajv\ (version 8.11.0) as a development dependency for JSON schema validation.

(dependencies) · high confidence

The project's Gradle wrapper has been updated to use version 9.7.1. This change ensures that builds will automatically download and use this specific Gradle distribution, providing consistency across development and CI environments and leveraging any improvements or bug fixes included in this release.
